I'm still trying to master the tones and shading....! Do you think his hair should be darker...?
(I painted in that bust.....)

He looks just like Alexander in the bust.......then I read these words -
replica of a Greek original of 4th century BCE which possibly explains it!!!
I see what you mean about him later on and bearded
Alcibiades
Exceedingly strange that he resembles Alexander when young and Philip when older.... :wink: :wink:

That is really good....I look forward to seeing him finished...
I did him, but something was wrong and I couldn't get the colours to work properly...I played with the layer filters a little for these two impressions..
I was also giggling at the eyebrows....

Cristina, according to Mr Andronikos the hair were abit more "yellowish".
The improved reconstruction of the Scotland Yard labs seems to agree.
There is a tendency of the artists to give him darker tones but it is not correct.
Kind regards
